The gaps are just a tiny bit wider than the thickness of a tile, as mentioned in
Manfred’s post nearly a month ago. The
1x1 tiles are laid out in pretty much the same pattern as Manfred’s headlight
brick idea, or my 3-stud 1x1 brick or 5-stud 1x1/basic 1x1 brick variations on
his idea. You need something to hold the tiles in place. 1x8’s can be held in
with bricks or plates at the very ends if you limit yourself to 4-5 studs
opening in one direction, but you need studs to hold the opposing tiles in,
unless you really want to spend the time necessary to twist all of those pieces
enough to grip the tile edges with their corners.
The sad thing is that while we were discussing the same pattern layout, the
subject of using it for wall decor never came up (it looks better with tiles
than plates, though), and even sadder is that it wasn’t until after I had done a
sample layout with tiles that I realized it was the same pattern we’d discussed
here.
